About the event
Rotary Botanical Gardens is turning 30, and we're celebrating with our biggest Holiday Light Show yet. Walk through over 2 million lights spread across the Gardens, all lit up for the season. This milestone year brings a few new surprises: we're open on New Year's Eve for the first time ever, there's a new "mistletoe moment" photo op waiting for you, and our Horticulture team has something beautiful in the works too.
The show runs select nights from November 27 through January 2. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., last admission is 8:30 p.m., and lights go dark at 9 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults, $5 for kids 3 to 12, and free for kids 2 and under, same price online or at the door. Tickets go on sale October 1.
Buying your tickets in advance helps us know how to staff each night and keeps the lines moving faster…
